Title: Cardiovascular system

CARDIOVASCULARSYSTEM
  • By Dr. Shamanthakamani Narendran

INTERNAL VIEW OF THE HEART

  • Chambers
  • The heart is divided by a septum into two halves.
    The halves are in turn divided into chambers. The
    upper two chambers of the heart are called atria
    and the lower two chambers are called ventricles.
    Valves allow blood to flow in one direction
    between the chambers of the heart.

Pathological conditions
  • Arrhythmia / Dysrhythmia
  • Heart block / Atrio ventricular block Failure
    of conduction of impulses through the A.V.Node.
  • Damage to the S.A.Node causes week impulses
    failing to reach the ventricles. Cardiac
    pacemaker establishes normal rhythm. It is a
    small, battery-operated electronic device. It is
    inserted under the skin. It has leads that travel
    through a large vein to the heart, where the
    wires are anchored, which send the electrical
    impulses to the heart.

  • Flutter Rapid, regular contraction of atria or
    ventricle reaching upto 250/300 beats per minute.
  • Fibrillation Rapid, random, irregular
    contraction reaching upto 350-400 beats per
    minute.
  • Defibrillator is applied to the chest wall to
    help in cardioversion.
  • Defibrillation is a technique used to counter the
    onset of ventricular fibrillation, a common cause
    of cardiac arrest. Defibrillation is part of an
    advanced cardiac life support. It applies a
    controlled electric shock.

Defibrillator
12
  • Cardiac Arrest Sudden stoppage of heart.
  •  
  • Palpitation Uncomfortable sensation in the chest
    associated with arrhythmia. This causes
  • 1. Premature atrial contraction (PAC)
  • 2. Premature ventricular contraction (PVC).

13
  • Myocardial Infarction / Heart Attack

14
Angina Pectoris
  • Hardening of the arteries, and the presence of a
    thrombus, or clot, in a blood vessel are the most
    common causes of obstruction. Arteriosclerosis is
    responsible for most of the deaths resulting from
    heart attacks. Spasms of the coronary arteries
    can also result in a heart attack.

15
Cardiac Catheterization
  • It is used to study the various functions of the
    heart. The coronary arteries can be viewed by
    injecting dye. The oxygen concentration can be
    measured across the valves and walls of the heart
    and pressures within each chamber of the heart
    and across the valves can be measured.

16
  • Radio frequency catheter ablation (RFA) Non
    surgical treatment to treat Arrhythmia.
  • A catheter is placed in the blood vessel leading
    of the heart vessel, which delivers a high
    frequency current to burn a small portion of the
    muscle. This injury corrects heart block /
    arrhythmia.

17
Angiography
18
Balloon angioplasty
  • Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
    (PTCA)

ATHERECTOMY
Directional Coronary Athrectomy
  • Rotational Athrectomy

Extraction Athrectomy
21
Electrocardiography (EKG / ECG)
  • Detects heart abnormalities, disease and damage
    by measuring the heart's rhythms and electrical
    impulses.

22
Echocardiography
The image shows the motion pattern and structure
of the four heart valves, revealing any potential
leakage (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis).
During this test, a Doppler ultrasound may be
done to evaluate cardiac blood flow.
23
Stress Test/ Exercise tolerance test (ETT) /
treadmill test
It can assess the hearts reaction under physical
stress.
  • During an exercise ST, an EKG is performed while
    the patient exercises in a controlled manner on a
    treadmill or stationary bicycle at varied speeds
    and elevations. During a pharmacological ST, a
    medication (e.g., dobutamine) is given to the
    patient, which causes the heart to react as if it
    were under the physical stress of exercise,
    though he is actually at rest.

24
  • Treatment for hyperlipidemia is diet and
    exercise.
  • Drug therapy includes HMG reductors inhibitors
    which lower cholesterol also called "stains,"
  • eg, simbastain, lovastain, pravastain.

25
Tests
  • Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)
  • Doppler ultrasound
  • Echocardiography (ECHO)
  • Nuclear cardiology
  • Positron emission tomography (PET scan)
  • Thallium 201 scintigraphy
  • Technetium 99 ventriculography
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
